What it comes down to is implications. It's supposed to be a good outcome for everybody, but it looks like for Erica her life was "fixed" by living as a gay man instead of a transgender woman. Atlus isn't exactly known to have a good track record of LGBT issues but that's a whole different level of insensitivity.

Spoiler

How exactly was her life fixed? Is there context missing for someone to come to this conclusion? Erica was never noticeably miserable in the original game when she was shown as a woman. This is an alternate end that doesn't change the original ones as far as I can tell. If anything the original end for her could be considered more controversial because of her deliberately baiting that dude into sleeping with her without knowing her past.

Most Japanese games, anime and media as a whole don't buy into our current societal gender politics because it's not a priority over there. They cater to their immediate consumers instead of grandstanding for causes that gets them nowhere financially. People who play these kinds of games and expect Japanese ideals to conform to their own need to see the world for what it is instead of what it thinks it owes them.
